• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAML2059 - Entity &1 in client &3 is stillused in logon policy &2 ?

  The SAP error message SAML2059 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) settings in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that an entity (such as a service provider or identity provider) is still being referenced in a logon policy, which prevents it from being deleted or modified.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to delete or modify a SAML entity that is still associated with an active logon policy in the specified client. This can happen if:
  
  The entity is still in use by one or more logon policies.
  There are dependencies that need to be resolved before the entity can be removed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SAML2059 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Logon Policy: Determine which logon policy is using the entity. You can do this by checking the logon policies configured in your SAP system.
  
  
  Modify the Logon Policy:
  
  Go to the transaction code for managing logon policies (e.g., SAML2).
  Locate the logon policy that references the entity in question.
  Remove the reference to the entity from the logon policy.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify the Entity: Once the entity is no longer referenced in any logon policies, you should be able to delete or modify it without encountering the error.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or configurations that might be preventing the modification or deletion of the entity.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary changes, test the logon process to ensure that everything is functioning correctly.
